SO, whatcha do now is what you would do in any other seed-sprouting medium:
Remove the seed coats.
Shells. Casings. Whatever.
They gotta come off.
I use my tweezers (forceps, actually) that are very high-quality and heavy-duty
to gingerly and deftly (more like CAREFULLY) remove them to the end shown in the picture;
leading up to this, you can gently re-position the seed coats for several days, slowly helping the
ROUNDED ends of the seeds to be ABOVE the surface of the agar, fast-forwarding what will happen
in Nature anyway, and then remove the seed coats to facilitate that the seed leaves are able to unfurl and
become upright in the process...it'll be worth it, I'm sure---->>>
